Quantum TSP tutorial

Introduction

This repository contains code with tutorials on how to approach optimization problems using quantum computing.
I used Travelling Salesman Problem for this tutorials, though the idea is, that after finishing it, you should be able to implement any similar optimization problem.

Is this tutorial right for you?

I have created this tutorial with specific audience in mind. It means people, who:

are curious about quantum computing,

don't have any background in quantum physics,

have some programming experience,

really want to learn this topic.

The last point is the most important. My goal here is not to show you how to solve TSP with a quantum computer. My goal is to teach you how to solve optimization problems with QC, make sure your solution works and how to improve it. To do all that you need to put some effort into it and spend a couple of hours trying to understand all the concepts. But this is on purpose - this is the best way I know to actually learn the topic and integrate this knowledge.

I did my best to provide you with all the necessary knowledge, code examples etc. If you think something is not clear, missing, you have a better idea - well, I encourage you to do one of these two things:
